In this book, former dancer and neuroscientist Julia Christensen reveals why you experience overthinking and shares a 7-step method to create a reliable pathway to flow and effortlessly unlock the creative genius within you. Boost your mood, calm your mind, and enjoy the magic of flow every day.

An ex ballet dancer becomes a neuroscientist, and misses the creative life.

~~~

I got 100 pages into this… and just stopped. I do not know why; I LOVE Flow, and brain and science topics like this…

I did have a lot of library loans and this one just kept getting pushed away. Finally, realistically, I returned it.

So it is an ‘it’s not the book, it’s me’ kind of sitch.

Wonderful read! Nice solution focused approaches with top tips you can apply to your life very clearly. It helped me understand positive and negative habits I may have and how to try again with some art forms I love that I have neglected a bit. Very timely read for me.
